Excitement Over What Is Thought To BE a
Big Deal I'm Natural Gas.
Special to the indianapolis .ournaI.
WABASH, June 20.-Reports reached here to-
day that gigantic natural-gas pipeline project
was on foot. and that the great Jumbo gas well
at Paramount. Grant county, had been sold to
syndicate of Buffalo capitalists who would sink
other wells and pipe the fluid to Chicago to sup
ply that city. Your reporter visited Fairmount
this afternoon for the purpose of running down
the story call was made upon SCOTS
bank. Mr.. Scott admitted that he knew
all the facts in the gas deal, but
refused to reveal all he knew. He stated, how
ever that the Jumbo we'll was sold on Saturday
to Buffalo syndicate, who would pipe the gas,
but he could not say exactly where the pipe line
would 60. The lot on which the well stands had
been sold to W. II. Best, of Buffalo, and the
deed duly recorded in his name. Mr.. Scott pos
itively refused to give the names of the syndi-
cate Mr. Best represents saying they had en-
joined the most profound secrecy on
mis- part. Mr.. Scott vouchsafed the
further information that the deal has
been on the tapis for the past three days.
There has been considerable haegline about
the price to be paid for the monster well, which
is admitted the most powerful in Indiana Mr.
about Paramount, and is DESTROYS of securing
more. In one case he offered $100 year for
FIVE years for small strip of land, and agreed
to furnish free gas to the owner. From other
sources the reporter learned that Mr.. Best is
acting under the immediate directions and
orders of j. SatterfeId, of Buffalo He is
amply supplied with funds. and the syndicate is
evidently very wealthy one.
w. G. Winslow, prominent business man and
a heavy stakeholder in the Paramount Natural
gas Company, briefly interviewed. Mr..
Winslow said the big we'll had been sold to Buff
falo parties, who would pipe the gas to Chicago
for the purpose of supplying that city. The pipe
line, it is understood. is to north on the Gin
cinnati, Wabash e Michigan railway to Goshen,
and thence into Chicago along the Lake Shore
railway. TIL. towns along the way
which are out OF the gas belt to
be supplied. The plan is to purchase and also to
sink a number of wells, and thus be able to put
an immense flow of gas into the pipeline. An
air of mystery pervades the scheme which gives
promise of being the biggest pipe line on record.
It is believed in Paramount that the Standard
Oil Company is backing the project secretly.
MIR. Best had gone to Marion to purchase moro
wells, and could not be seen.
